13. Baltimore Ravens (7)

One week after nearly pulling off an incredible win on the road over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Baltimore Ravens were looking to bounce back in a strong way with the Cleveland Browns coming to town, which didn’t even come close to being the case.

Instead of the Ravens bouncing back in a strong way on Sunday, Baltimore was absolutely embarrassed by their division rivals by suffering a 40-25 loss at home to Cleveland to drop their record to 2-2 on the season.

All of a sudden, a Baltimore team that seemed like one of the top teams to beat in the AFC two weeks ago may not even be the best team in the AFC North when looking at how dominant the Browns looked on both sides of the football.

Not even a three-touchdown performance by Lamar Jackson should be viewed as a win since one of those scores game towards the end of the contest when the game was already over for the Ravens.

Whatever the reasons behind Baltimore’s struggles on Sunday in the loss to Cleveland, the best thing they can do is use this as motivation to improve in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers since with another rivalry game, this will be just as tough.
